// HTTP POST sends name/value pairs to a web server

//The most common use of POST, by far, is to submit HTML form data to CGI scripts.
// This Post task handles cookies and remembers them across calls.
// This means that you can post to a login form, receive authentication cookies,
// then subsequent posts will automatically pass the correct cookies.
// The cookies are stored in memory only, they are not written to disk and
// will cease to exist upon completion of the build.
// The POST Request structure - Typical POST Request
// POST /path/script.cgi HTTP/1.0
// From: [email protected]
// User-Agent: HTTPTool/1.0
// Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
// Content-Length: 32
// home=Cosby&favorite+flavor=flies
// Extract the content of the Request and make a employee class
// The message body is posted as bytes. read the bytes
byte[] PostData = context.Request.BinaryRead(context.Request.ContentLength);
//Convert the bytes to string using Encoding class
string str = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(PostData);
// deserialize xml into employee class
Company.Employee emp = Deserialize(PostData);
// Insert data in database
dal.AddEmployee(emp);
